MINIATURES ON IVORY BY BRIDPORT. 


NoTe.—Hugh Bridport was a noted miniature painter, born im 
London, 1794, and who was induced by Thomas Sully to come to this 
country and practise his art. He consequently settled in Philadelphia 
in 1816, where he obtained a great reputation asa portrait painter and 
miniaturist, and to him we are indebted for many beautiful specimens. 
of the art. He was also one of the instructors of Albert Newsam, the 
noted engraver of portraits on stone. The present collection comes. 
from a member of his family, who inherited them by direct descent. 
from his estate. 


THe RicHr Rev. Henry Conweiit, D. D. Roman 
Catholic Bishop of Philadelphia. Nearly half length, 
seated, in his clerical robes as Bishop, head to left. Size 
3 12-16 in. x 2 14-16 in. In contemporary gold bronze 
pendant frame, on the back of which is the artist’s card = 
‘‘H. Bridport, Miniature Painter, 122 Chestnut St.”” The 
whole enclosed in a morocco case. SEE PLATE. 

This mintature ts after a painting by John Naegle, 1826. 
Bishop Conwell was appointed to the See of Philadelphia in 
7820,and was consecrated in London. Shortly after his ar- 
rival in Philadelphia he had difficulty with the Trustees of 
the Cathedral Church of St. Mary’s, who insisted on retain- 
ing a priest contrary to the desire of the Bishop. The result 
was a schism. Dr. Conwell and the Clergy of his House- 
hold abandoned the Cathedral and retired to the Church of 
St. Joseph, in the neighborhood. He afterwards went to 
Rome, where the Papal authorities endeavored to persuade 
him from returning to the United States and used every effort 
to prevail on him to resign his See; but without effect. He 
was present at the Council of Baltimore in 1829, when the 
assembled bishops persuaded him to accept the Rev. Franets: 
P. Kenrick as a coadjutor. 


Francis Hopkinson. Signer of the Declaration of Inde- 
pendence. Exquisitely painted miniature on ivory, head

This portrait of the great statesman much resembles the 


pose and coloring of Thomas Sully. It exhibits at the same 


time the delicate touch and drawing which much excells the 
art of his friend. Francis Hopkinson, besides being one of 
our most ardent patriots, was, lke his brother, Thomas Hop- 
einson, the author of ‘flail Columbia,” a poet and composer 


.of no mean caltbre. He was the author of the celebrated 


“Baitle of the Kegs,’ and left considerable musical coupost- 
tions which at this late date are just beginning to be appre- 
ciated.

STUART’S PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON. 


PORTRAIT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. Full bust, in uniform. 
Bust to left, head to right. Oval. Painted in water color on 
silk. Size 5 4-16in. x 4in. Gilt Frame. SEE PLATE. 


Lhis 1s one of the most interesting portraits of Washington 
that has ever come under my observation, it was painted 
by Gilbert Stuart and has always been wn the Bringhurst- 
Lehman family. The first owner was Samuel Bringhurst, 
who lived on Main Street, Gerinantown, Pa.; and on 
whose property was a barn which was used by Stuart as 
his studio. The arrangement being made by Mr. Bring- 
hurst, who, being public spirited, decided to aid Stuart in 
every possible way. Consequently, the barn was fitted up; 
the upper part was used as the studio proper, and the lower 
floor was used for mixing paints and receiving quarters. 
During Gilbert Stuart's occupancy of these quarters the pa- 
triotic people of Germantown decided to present a flag to the 
militia of the commuuity, and Mr, Bringhurst requested Stuart 
to paint the flag, which he did much to the gratification of all 
those concerned. The flag, which was not of large proportions, 
was made of silk. The head of Washington, surroundéd by a 
laurel wreath, appearing on one side, and on ihe other the 
Goddess of Liberty. The flag, after having served its pur- 
pose, was presented to Mr. Bringhurst in gratitude for the 
services he rendered Stuart and the town. Mary, the eldest 
daughter of Mr. Bringhurst, married Win. Lehman of Ger- 
mantown, and later of Lebanon, Pa., and in due time the 
Washington portrait was presented to his daughter Mary, 
and in turn was tnherited by her son, Benjamin Bringhurst 
Lehman, who left it to his son, Ambrose E. Lehman, civil 
engineer, who recently ated in Philadelphia. The picture 
then came in possession of his widow,who ts hving on Forty- 
third Street South of Walnut Street, Philadelphia. The above 
information was vbiained some years ago in Lebanon through 
papers in the possession of and by conversation with Sue Ash- 
mead Hiller, now dead. She was a descendent of Samuel 
Bringhurst, and was born in Germantown, The Ashmead 
property adjoining that of the Bringhursts. 
NoTE.—Unfortunately the flag of which this portrait of Washington 
was the main object has passed out of existence. In the settlement 
of the Lehman estate, there were so many claimants to the flag in its 
entirety that it was decided to partition it amongst the heirs; conse- 
quently the portrait was cut from the flag. The head going to one, 


12 


6 


the uniform going to another member of the family, and so on. 
Fortunately in after years the uniform and head were brought to- 
gether as here presented, and it is very probable that this is the only 
water-color of Washington by the great artist. It will be remem- 
bered that it was the Barn studio on the Lehman estate where 
Washington sat to Stuart for the famous portrait now hanging in the 
Boston Anthenaeum. An affidavit as to the above facts will be given 
the purchaser.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN Oi1L PorTRAIT. Bust half life size. 
This portrait is a fairly good likeness of the Martyred

of a death sentence, inflicted upon him by a Court-Martial. 
The Pardon was obtained through the intercession of Mrs. 
L. J. Dewees, of Philadelphia, who was active in the sani- 
tary associations during the war. The fact that the Portrait 
was painted by a novice as an expression of his gratitude 
and is very interesting.
